Eason Jordan, CNN's Chief News Executive, confirmed
that the video footage used on CNN was in fact shot Tuesday in
East Jerusalem by a Reuters TV crew,
not during the Persian Gulf conflict of 1990-91 -- a fact proved
by its inclusion of comments from a
Palestinian praising Osama Bin Laden, whose name was unlikely to
have come up ten years earlier in
connection with the invasion and liberation of Kuwait. As well,
the person who made the claim quoted
above has since recanted.
